🌒Bad Moon Rising🌘

Finally! This piece took me a while, and involved a lot more photoshop than I originally hoped, but it done! I’m glad I was able to get at least one Smaugust piece done. This piece is on the page behind that crow piece I did last October. It left a half-moon red stain on the page, and I’ve been wanting to do a piece utilizing it in some way. Initially it was going to be something with werewolves, but smaugust rolled around and i settled on this :) I start school again in a couple of weeks, but this semester’s schedule isn’t too tough, so I plan on carving out time for art still! :D

[ID: Ink illustration of a line art, scaled dragon with a long, serpentine body and two sets of small wings where the legs would be. It’s head looks left, and it’s body twists over its left down the page. It has tendrils for horns, a plated spine, and a gold outline. The background is mostly white, but the dragon intersects with a rectangle with a gold outline filled with a night sky that starts red and fades into a reddish purple then white at the bottom. The gold outline does not extend to the bottom line, which is a jagged gradient. The dragon looks up at a red crescent moon that emits light. Stars are also on the night sky. The illustration is in a leather bound sketchbook that sits on a bed of moss.

Image 3: Cropped illustration of a line art, scaled dragon on a ink background. The crop includes half of the moon, some of the white background, the head, and one wing of the dragon. Part of the neck and tendrils are cropped.

Image 4: Crop of the illustration that showcases the dragon’s body, tail, and other wing. The crop cuts out the red portions of the ink background, the bottom right wing, and the left portion of the canvas.

Image 5: Photo of two partially empty sketchbook pages, the left one having bled marker, and the right page having partially bled marker and faint sketch lines. The bled marker on the left shows the outline of a crow, and two circles, a large red one in the crow’s beak. The right page has bled marker from the smaller red circle. The background is black. /end ID]
